Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ucc_geth: Fix NULL pointer dereference in uec_get_ethtool_stats()
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:35:47 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090827173547.GA1580@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)

In commit 3e73fc9a12679a546284d597c1f19165792d0b83 ("ucc_geth: Fix IO
memory (un)mapping code") I fixed ug_regs IO memory leak by properly
freeing the allocated memory. But ethtool_stats() callback doesn't
check for ug_regs being NULL, and that causes following oops if
'ethtool -S' is executed on a closed eth device:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000180
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc0208228
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  ...
  NIP [c0208228] uec_get_ethtool_stats+0x38/0x140
  LR [c02559a0] ethtool_get_stats+0xf8/0x23c
  Call Trace:

  ---[ end trace 77fff1162a9586b0 ]---
  Segmentation fault

This patch fixes the issue.
